seascape

Anthony Horowitz の "The House of Silk" からの引用です。
'It's an excellent price,' he was saying. 'And I am certain of it, Tobias. These works are like good wine. Their value can only rise.'
'No, no, no!' replied the other voice in a high-pitched whine. 'He calls them seascapes. Well, I can see the sea...but precious little else. ...'
絵画の話なので "seascapes" は海の景色のことだと思いますが、念のために辞書で確認します。
・Oxford English Dictionary: A view of an expanse of sea.: The far-flung views offer one of the most superb blends of seascape and mountain possible.

・Collins Dictionary: A seascape is a painting or photograph of a scene at sea.: He looked off into the east, out across the starlit seascape.

・Cambridge English Dictionary: a painting of a view of the sea: In his seascape he mapped naval lifepaths with the care and attention of a participant.
